Another Perseid Composite
« on: August 13, 2016, 06:35:23 pm »

Perseid Shower by Stephen Lim, on Flickr

Wasn't able to get as remote as Matt Burt which would have been nice.  Here's a composite over 4 hours in California.  Light in the background is a group of photographers coming back and makes it look like the sun is rising/setting for a cool effect.

I also have a time lapse shown here:  https://www.facebook.com/Shakyphoto/

Your onto something here. Otherworldly, but appealing.

Agreed otherworldly.  Kept the slightly higher temp white balance after the moon set.  Most AWB then transitions the white balance temp to be lower than most other pictures.  The flashlights then backlight the scene.  You can see the transition in my timelapse.

Looks great! Nice job. Most of the meteors I got were traveling in different directions!
